FSA: Opposition Controls 70 Percent of Syrian Territory
(Asharq Al-Awsat-UK) Yousef Diab - FSA commander Colonel Riad al-Asaad told Asharq Al-Awsat that "90% of the military units affiliated to the al-Assad regime are being provisioned with food by helicopters, because they no longer possess the military capabilities to move freely on the ground in Syria for fear of being targeted and attacked." He added, "We, the FSA and the revolution, are in control of approximately 70% of Syrian territory." The FSA commander revealed that "more than 40,000 armed soldiers of the FSA are fighting on the ground in Syria, while there are 100,000 more who are waiting for arms to join the ranks of the fighters and who are ready for battle."
